Chapter 1

With the exchange of voices, streams of deep purple mist surged up to the second floor, spreading along the floor like dry ice on a stage, transforming from gas to mist!

Simultaneously, a swarm of poisonous insects formed a green cloud, buzzing and flapping their wings, crashing around at the top of the stairs, examining every corner!

Before the evil practitioners even arrived, they were already releasing venomous insects and toxic smoke to cleanse the area, being extremely cautious!

Standing in the most conspicuous position, Alicia glanced at a spot not far from the stairs, where Moral Tianzun was hidden.

Seeing that the poisonous smoke and insects were about to spread to Moral Tianzun's side, she immediately raised her staff and created a small hurricane, sweeping all the viscous, heavy poisonous smoke and insects into the sky!

The footsteps on the stairs paused, and the evil practitioners stopped talking!

After a few seconds, a chuckle came from the stairwell, "Only two people, let's go up!"

As the voice faded, a group of people ascended the stairs, appearing in Alicia's and Qing Zhu's sight. As Moral Tianzun said, there were five of them. The leader was a white youth with dark green hair, wearing light-colored jeans, his muscular torso bare and robust, with four black, mutated arms growing from his ribs!

Those black arms were incredibly thick, demonstrating their power. The fingernails were sharp and keratinous, as if they could tear through steel.

His eyes had mutated into amber-colored vertical pupils, devoid of human emotion as they flickered.

"Hundred-Armed Demon Insect..." Alicia's pretty face became solemn.

Although she had expected this when she heard about the Hundred-Armed Deacon, seeing him in person shattered the last bit of hope in her heart!

The Hundred-Armed Demon Insect was a member of the Biological Alchemy Society, active for many years in the most crime-ridden area of the Free Federation, Mizhou!

Despite the recent surge of Peak Saints returning to the Lingjing in the New Covenant battle, in the past, before the Sovereigns hid behind the scenes, Peak Saints like the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect were essentially outlaws!

Murder, robbery, extortion, rape... it all depended on his mood and whether his moral compass pointed towards it!

Even if the Order camp dispatched two Peak Saints of the same level, they wouldn't be able to kill him; at best, they could scare him away!

Now, in addition to the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect, there were four other Saints in the evil team, each a formidable opponent.

Moreover, with items and relics in their possession, their chances of winning were slim!

Two Mutants, a Drunkard, an Illusionist, and a Witch Doctor...

Qing Zhu quickly identified the five enemies, clutching the Egyptian Pharaoh's Sun Disc in one hand and ready to retrieve the stele for defense from his inventory at any moment.

Facing this configuration of enemies, he immediately abandoned any plan for an offensive attack!

Alicia was a Wind Mage, and he was a Beastmaster, purely a physical attacker!

Meanwhile, the Drunkard's skills were unpredictable, and the Illusionist's mental manipulation, attacks, and illusions were unsolvable, as were the skills of the Spirit Medium!

If they were further assisted by relics and items, he and Alicia would struggle for a few rounds at most before being sent back to the Lingjing!

Evil practitioners were stronger than Order practitioners because their skills were more potent and unsolvable!

Right now, they could only hope that Moral Tianzun could assassinate one enemy, turning the three-on-five situation into a two-on-four, which might give them a chance of victory.

"Oh, Alicia."

The Hundred-Armed Demon Insect's eyes lit up, quickly filled with joy and cruelty, obviously realizing that there were indeed only two enemies. The evil practitioners also relaxed.

They revealed expressions of mockery and cruelty. The beetle-shaped Spirit Medium's gaze lingered on Alicia's curvaceous figure, and he suddenly felt emboldened, puffing out his chest and grinning strangely, "The woman on the first floor didn't have a chance to taste, so this time, let's kill the man first and leave the woman behind for us to enjoy."

"I'm riding a Yangma [foreign horse] ah, opportunities are rare, especially one as beautiful as this." Except for the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect, the other three chuckled, not objecting to his suggestion.

As depraved evil practitioners, they had no reason to refuse such a proposition.

"Hmph."

The Hundred-Armed Demon Insect snorted coldly, "If you want to play with women, wait until we leave the dungeon. I won't tolerate a Peak Saint living!" Saying that, he lowered the gourd at his waist and shouted, "Alicia."

In the next second, a massive vortex formed at the gourd's mouth, enveloping Alicia, who was a dozen meters away!

This was a relic he had subdued in the exhibition hall on the first floor, called the Yin-Yang Gourd, a very special treasure. As long as you pulled out the wooden stopper and called out the target's name, you could capture them into the gourd and seal them!

Within an hour, they could be refined into blood!

Even if the target had special defenses or self-healing abilities, refining them for an hour would make them weak and vulnerable!

The strong airflow dragged Alicia toward the gourd, but she calmly raised her staff and created a reverse wind to stabilize her body.

Her body creaked under the strain of the opposing air currents, and her bones showed signs of fracture.

The Hundred-Armed Demon Insect's eyes glowed with a gray-white light, and two petrifying beams shot out, only to be blocked by a semi-circular yellow aura!

It was Qing Zhu who had thrown out the stele, while Alicia raised her staff to evade the hurricane.

Suddenly, she groaned and clutched her forehead. The hurricane beneath the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect and the others hadn't even formed before dissipating into a gentle breeze.

The Illusionist had used a mental strike, which could also be cast one-on-one, though the damage wasn't as great as an indiscriminate attack. Even a Wind Mage with a relatively fragile mind could withstand it!

However, he had only intended to interrupt her spellcasting, not to harm Alicia!

Experienced players knew how to fight in a team. On the other side, the beetle-shaped Spirit Medium picked up a bronze spear and, with a flap of his wings, thrust the spear at the barrier formed by the stele, the spearhead dyed with a layer of transparent light – the power of blessing.

Any subjective action would receive a blessing from the heavens, as if divinely assisted!

Of the Spirit Medium's three core abilities, only the power of blessing needed to be prepared in advance. Before ascending the stairs, he had already set up an altar and performed a ritual to bless himself and his team.

Crack.

The stele and the yellow aura shattered simultaneously, and a Saint-quality item was destroyed just like that!

With no further obstacles, the petrifying beams struck!

Qing Zhu was prepared, turning his arms into two vines to entangle Alicia, but she erected a wall of wind for added defense!

However, the vines that were supposed to entangle Alicia suddenly turned in another direction, and the wall of wind was erected behind her instead of in front!

The Drunkard had cast Perception Confusion on them, scrambling their sense of direction!

The petrifying beam hit Alicia's chest, and a pale color spread quickly but steadily, petrifying her chest and abdomen. Alicia was no longer able to resist and quickly converged towards the vortex at the mouth of the gourd.

Seeing this, the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect revealed a cruel smile. Just then, the beetle-shaped Spirit Medium turned around and thrust his spear, his face twisted, "I said I wanted to f*ck her, can't you understand? If you can't understand, I'll f*ck you first."

The Spirit Medium, after being transformed by Gu, was so fast and accurate that the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect was caught off guard, only managing to extend a black arm to block!

"Ding..."

The level 1 relic in his hand caused dazzling sparks to fly out, though it didn't pierce the gourd. However, the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect's blocking hand plugged the gourd's mouth, and the vortex instantly disappeared!

Alicia felt a sense of relief.

"What are you doing?" The Hundred-Armed Demon Insect was enraged, his eye sockets brewing with pale light. The beetle-shaped Spirit Medium was also stunned, "What am I doing?"

At that moment, he felt extreme anger and dissatisfaction, thinking that the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect was relying on his higher experience value to completely ignore his demands and disrespect him!

He was immediately filled with rage and lost his composure, which was why he had attacked so rashly!

Now that the burst of energy had been released, he realized that something was wrong!

"He's being mentally manipulated," the Illusionist in the team shouted!

The five evil practitioners were shocked. Then they heard a "clang," and something was thrown at their feet!

Looking down, they saw a face-sized round disc, half white and half black, with a red pointer in the center!

At this moment, the red pointer was pointing to the black disc, and a dialog box appeared above it:

[Pointer: Black]

[Note 2: The one who answers incorrectly dies!]

[Question: A guest came to the brothel and ordered two girls into the room.]

[Note: Please answer with a four-character idiom based on the question. Please answer within twenty seconds!]

Countdown begins: 00:29:45]

A barrier formed and expanded, covering a radius of forty meters! Because they had planned the strategy in advance, Qing Zhu grabbed the half-petrified Alicia and fled as soon as he heard the noise.

Therefore, they were not covered by the Yin-Yang Disc's barrier!

The puzzled evil practitioners looked at each other, their eyes blank!

"I can see the translation of the dungeon, but I don't understand what it means." The Drunkard in the team immediately looked at the Spirit Medium and the Illusionist!

While speaking, the Spirit Medium soared into the sky, darting towards the edge of the barrier and thrusting his spear!

The Spirit Medium turned his head and shouted!

"This..." The Illusionist's expression changed drastically.

"The Yin-Yang Disc, the legendary Yin-Yang Disc!"

"What Yin-Yang Disc?" The two evil practitioners from the First District didn't react!

Before the Illusionist could explain, a loud screech pierced the sky. The five people present all looked up, as if they had been hit on the head with a club, their heads aching and warm blood gushing from their noses!

A figure manifested not far away, pulled out a red triangular soft hat, and summoned three figures shrouded in Yin energy!

"Kill him." Zhang Yuanqing pointed at the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect!

Silver Maid held a Han-style Octagonal Bronze Sword in one hand and a Zhanmadao [horse-chopping sword] in the other. Greedy Divine General held a blood-colored broadsword. They charged towards the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect in a triangular formation, slashing their weapons simultaneously.

The Hundred-Armed Demon Insect's six arms each grabbed three weapons, but the two swords with armor-piercing capabilities directly cut into his palm bones!

Bang!!

The Hundred-Armed Demon Insect knelt on the ground, his knees slamming into the floor tiles!

Zhang Yuanqing ignored him, transformed into starlight, and appeared in front of the Illusionist. He spat out the power of the Sun God from his palm, forming a long sword, and slashed at his neck!

He chose to kill the Illusionist first, because he had a complete advantage in their respective professions. The Illusionist, Drunkard, and another Mutant, who had barely recovered from the mental strike, attacked simultaneously. The sense of distance was distorted, their limbs were out of sync, and illusions, mental strikes, and petrifying beams rained down!

A layer of light gold halo appeared on Zhang Yuanqing's body!

The immunity from the power of the Sun God and the Undaunted Will potion, plus the fact that he himself was a Peak Dream Weaver, meant that these skills couldn't shake him in the slightest.

With a flash of sharp golden light, the Illusionist's head fell to the ground, and a fountain of blood erupted!

A spirit quickly escaped from the body and fled into the distance!

Black energy appeared in Zhang Yuanqing's eye sockets. He opened his mouth and inhaled, directly swallowing the Dream Weaver's soul into his belly, suppressing it with the power of Taiyin!

The Hundred-Armed Demon Insect opened his inventory and summoned a set of bone armor. His body instantly swelled, mutating into a two-meter-tall humanoid monster.

His aura directly approached the limit of the Saint realm. As a Peak Saint, he definitely had some trump cards.

The three Yin corpses were instantly knocked away!

Zhang Yuanqing grabbed a black crescent moon from the void and stuck it on his forehead. The crescent moon immediately merged into his skin, transforming into a vine pattern covering half of his face!

The three Yin corpses' auras surged, and the dense Yin energy suppressed the petrification. They joined forces again and pressed the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect back to the ground!

At this moment, the Yin-Yang Disc's countdown ended!

Four beams of black light shot out from the dark disc, striking the evil practitioners present, frantically seizing their life force!

Except for the Drunkard, who made the black light chaotic, the other two evil practitioners couldn't resist the light's deprivation, and their lives quickly flowed away.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yuanqing switched the sword in his hand to a large bow, and golden light spewed from his fingertips, turning into an arrow that shot towards the Drunkard with a whoosh.

The latter habitually used his skills to distort the arrow's flight path, but found that the skill was ineffective!

The Drunkard was hit in the chest by the arrow. There was no blood or wound, but there was a bang from his pocket, and a clay figure hidden inside shattered into powder!

The relic, a substitute doll, had played its role.

Buzz...

A swarm of bees with poisonous needles on their tails vibrated their wings and came over. After discovering that "Shaving Fortune" was ineffective, the Spirit Medium decisively spat out the swarm, using these specially bred bees to attack the enemy with armor-piercing and poisonous attacks!

Zhang Yuanqing snapped his fingers and disappeared into starlight!

The Yin-Yang Disc shot out a thick black light that swept across the swarm of bees and Gu insects, and they immediately fell to the ground. In the Yin-Yang Disc's domain, all living beings would have their lives seized, except for the Yin corpses and the item's owner!

Starlight lit up beside the Drunkard, and Zhang Yuanqing let out a screech that shocked his mind and will, preventing him from releasing his skills.

At the same time, the large bow in his hand twisted and deformed, turning into a long knife that he stabbed into the Drunkard's chest. After killing the Drunkard, he disappeared into stealth.

The Spirit Medium quickly flew into the sky, concentrating and preparing, while the other Mutant gave up the idea of assisting the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect, and spat out poisonous smoke, preventing the enemy from approaching!

Huff huff...

Surrounded by the black light, he breathed heavily, feeling his body gradually starting to feel tired. He didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and soon he saw a disturbance in the purple poisonous smoke on the left, as if something was attacking him at high speed!

Without thinking, he immediately shot out a petrifying beam!

The pale beam hit the target, knocking the attacking enemy out of stealth!

Before the Mutant could rejoice, his pupils shrank as he saw a dazzling golden light.

In the next second, his head was pierced by a light golden sword. No blood flowed out, and the power of the Sun God stopped the bleeding for him.

"Why can he be immune to petrifying beams..." This was the last thought in the Mutant's mind before returning to the Lingjing!

Seizing the opportunity, the Spirit Medium in the sky swooped down, a stream of light holding a spear, stabbing towards Zhang Yuanqing's back!

He had seized the opportunity to ambush and believed that he would succeed with the blessing!

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly turned around, not dodging or avoiding, and made a stabbing gesture with both hands. Golden light condensed between his hands, turning into a long spear.

Pfft. Pfft

The spear and the long spear pierced each other's chests simultaneously!

Under the old scoundrel's special training, he had already understood the mysteries of the Day Traveler's combat, the essence of domineering and fierce destruction combined with the Night Wanderer's super self-healing ability. He was not afraid of exchanging injuries for injuries, or lives for lives with the enemy!

The spearhead was poisoned... Zhang Yuanqing felt a pain like a knife, almost fainting, and quickly spat out the power of Taiyin.

Bai Lan's figure, wearing a wedding dress and holding a baby, merged into the Spirit Medium's body. Then, he released the long spear. This time he didn't use the power of the Sun God to condense a weapon, because it would hurt Bai Lan and Little Doubi!

Ignoring the long spear in his body, he clenched his fist and slammed it towards the Spirit Medium's head!

The Night Wanderer was also considered half a warrior!

The Spirit Medium's body fell, and thick blood spread out!

On the other side, under the Yin-Yang Disc's continuous seizure of life, the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect had still destroyed a Hundred-Man Slayer, a level six Yin corpse, which was struggling to support itself under the combined attack of Silver Maid and Greedy Divine General!

Zhang Yuanqing no longer chose close combat, while condensing a long bow to attack from a distance, increasing the pressure on the enemy. He waited for the wound on his chest to heal itself and for his body to detoxify!

He secretly manipulated the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect's spirit, making him more and more desperate and disorganized!

After another five minutes, the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect, who was at the end of his rope, was shot in the throat by an arrow and had his heart pierced by Greedy Divine General's armor-piercing sword!

The Peak Saint stood stiff for a few seconds before collapsing with a bang!

As soon as he died, the gray-white stone on Alicia, which hadn't been completely petrified, quickly receded!

Alicia widened her eyes in disbelief!

She couldn't imagine that at the Saint stage, someone could single-handedly fight five high-level Saints and resolve the battle in ten minutes.

If the time deliberately spent consuming the Hundred-Armed Demon Insect was removed, Moral Tianzun killed four evil practitioners, the speed of which was no more than five minutes!

This completely subverted her understanding!

The killing dungeon prohibited the use of Sovereign-level items and consumables.

At this moment, she heard Qing Zhu beside her, in a dreamy tone, murmuring: "Yuan... Yuanshi Tianzun!"
